Many countries and programs have used the HRH Action Framework <http://www.capacityproject.org/framework/> (HAF) to guide their health workforce strategies and plans. In the latest edition of CapacityPlus Voices, Country action for the health workforce: A powerful framework <http://www.capacityplus.org/sites/intrah.civicactions.net/files/resources/Voices_3_HAF_0.pdf> , Mary Roroi of the National Department of Health in Papua New Guinea and Dr. Zulfiqar Khan of the World Health Organization in Pakistan discuss how they're applying the HAF.
"The six areas [Action Fields] which the HAF talks about helped us a lot to develop these strategic areas because it has further explanations-for example, who could be the potential leaders and what could be their role, and how to bring them together. It is really very helpful," says Khan.
Developed as an initiative of the Global Health Workforce Alliance, the HAF website represents a collaborative effort among GHWA, USAID, and the WHO. As a GHWA partner, the Capacity Project <http://www.capacityproject.org> and now CapacityPlus <http://www.capacityplus.org> contributed to the development of the HAF.
